Keep up-to-date with the
Ruby's Pantry & Closet
   Please note there will be no Ruby’s Closet this week or for this Saturday’s distribution. The 411 Building will be tied-up due to the funeral of Jennie Hansen.

      Saturday morning you have an awesome opportunity to make new friends and show the world what God’s love REALLY looks like. Register at the sign-in table in the 411 Building, then join us at 7am as we serve others through Christ by distributing 25,000 lbs of healthy, nutritious food and make about that many smiles. Hope to see YOU!!

Jennie Hansen Funeral
      This past weekend our friend and co-worker in serving others through Christ, Jennie Hansen, took her final steps into the waiting arms of her Lord. We will be gathering on Friday, September 20 in the 411 Building to remember her smile and celebrate the gift she was to all of us. 
     Visitation:   3-6pm      Funeral:   6pm

     Please join us for the worship service and meal to follow. Jennie loved a full table! 
      If you’d like to bring bars or cookies or help in the kitchen please contact Janine Hansen at: 715.651.7274
 
Cleaning Teams Needed
     "Many hands make light work!” 
      Here at Living Water, there’s a place for everyone to share their strengths and talents, and in working together we can easily keep our church clean, well-stocked, maintained and beautiful. This includes weekly cleaning and upkeep of the 411 building. Please consider signing up – this is a small, but very important way that you can help serve others!                            
       We recommend signing up as a team of at least 2 families, as this makes the workload lighter, but this is not required . Cleaning times are flexible – you can clean anytime between Thursday morning & Saturday evening. Instructions and key are provided – thank you for being Living Water!
   Check out Clipboard Central for more details!
New Church Cleaning Option Starting October
         No time or unable to clean? – now you can SPONSOR a CLEANING WEEK!  
       This new option allows families who are otherwise unable or who would prefer to, the chance to PAY to SPONSOR the professional cleaning team to clean the church 1 week a month.  The cost for 1 week sponsorship is $70
       This will still leave 2 weeks out of the month that families who want to, can sign up and personally clean. Check out Clipboard Central for more details!

        The Blue JAM room needs some TLC. If you’re handy with a paint brush and can do a little touch up we need you! Please contact Julie Emerson at:  emersonfamily1@gmail.com

      Want to know who someone is from Living Water? Wondering how to get connected with another LW Ministry Partner? To get started using Breeze, LW’s digital directory, simply send us an email at:   livingwatercameron@gmail.com
     Once we hear from you, we’ll reply with instructions on how to proceed. This will help prevent duplicate entries and make the process as smooth as possible.
       Note: download the app and have all of Living Water at your fingertips, wherever you go!

September Mission
Children's Ministry: Gaga Pit
         What’s a Gaga Pit? Simply put: a modern version of dodgeball very popular with kids of all ages!          
       Our very own Darren Lentz has been a huge help in figuring out what supplies we need and how to best secure them. Right now, it appears our cost will be somewhere between $400-$500.  Our goal: installation before the snow flies (because they’re great in winter, too)!
       Please contact Michelle Wilson with any questions! 715.797.1595 or  wilsonmichelle2003@yahoo.com

    This year, I’m inviting men in relationships to join me on a journey with a specific purpose: to strengthen your connection with your wife or partner. Each week I will be sending those who sign up for, “Why Not,” a short text assignment instructing you in one thing/idea for how you can lean into your marriage, along with some words of encouragement. Guys, how about it? Why not?  
     Sign up is at Clipboard Central or by connecting with me directly. Note: only men may sign up!
